    All of the games in this collection are awesome!!! You will not have this much fun playing anything on the new consoles except maybe Wolfenstein,the New Order. Every one of the games, even the side scroller are endlessly entertaining and challenging. If you find this treasure anywhere buy it on the spot, it is the best gaming bargain you will ever find. So much fun and so hilarious. LOVEAll of the games in this collection are awesome!!! You will not have this much fun playing anything on the new consoles except maybe Wolfenstein,the New Order.

    Serious Sam Collection takes four ridiculously fun games and puts them all on one tidy disc to have in your gaming library. In addition, you also receive the Jewels of the Nile expansion pack for Serious Sam 3: BFE. Not since The Orange Box have we seen a value this good in gaming. Here's a rundown of what you're receiving: Serious Sam HD: 1st Encounter, Serious Sam HD: 2nd Encounter,Serious Sam Collection takes four ridiculously fun games and puts them all on one tidy disc to have in your gaming library.

As you can see from the rundown, this pack contains a lot of bang for the buck. Now get out there and shoot some filthy aliens.… Expand

    Fantastically absurd as always. Love me some Serious Sam! This collection brings us 4 games, plus DLC for nonstop chaos. Amazing group of games for the price. Perfect for any FPS fan. Some old school tricks mixed in with new upgrades... it's a great package. Favorite, though, as always is the Second Encounter. Any adrenaline junkie will agree.

    In the same vain as Doom and Duke Nukem, just stepped up a notch. Updated visual elements will please previous fans. Playing this game is not for the faint at heart. Fast and frantic, it will leave your head spinning and might make easily unnerved people sick from the jarring camera movements. But if you love first-person shooters it's definitely worth a try.

    Serious Sam is known for its mayhem, madness and bloody chaos. There's not a ton of thought involved just shoot and explode aliens and run and shoot and chain saw some more aliens...oh yeah and pick your weapon to do that all over again.

    You're not buying these games for the perfectly realistic graphics or tactical gameplay, this is just pure shooting mayhem fun. The Serious Sam games are absolutely brilliant for what they are.

    Really really fun game. The blood and chaos that is happening at all points in the game is just an awesome feature. The second encounter really does make the series with its incredible game play and mayhem happening.

    Don't get me wrong here I love the Serious Sam games well the second one the first one was a little tame but still fun and in the spirit of Serious Sam do I think this game is a bad game.

But I had a problem playing "Serious Sam 3" the game on it's own because it was region locked that is what put me off about buying this game but it works and I was glad that I finally got to play my "Serious Sam 3" but at the sad price of full retail on both... That's 60 bucks down the drain but buy this game it does engage you and make it fun for everyone… Expand

    Serious Sam Collection is fun and exciting, fast paced shooting action in open areas with blood, guts, dumb jokes, it's great, The first and 3rd game are fun to play and it really is worth your time, the sidescroller DDXXL is fun and silly in a "Lets put 4 chainsaws and a shotgun on a minigun" because why not.

    The only real thing keeping me from making it a flat out 10 is really with Serious Sam II, it's just a bad game in all honesty, it's not very fun or exciting, it's way too slow and they expanded the areas to a point where it takes so long to go from one area to another, you get so many enemies thrown at you and such short ranged guns in these massive areas, its boring because you move so slowly, even bunny hopping around isn't very effective like it was in the first and 3rd game. Also, the 1st person platforming sucks because they seem to set it up over constant death traps, and the things you need to move on take you to almost the very edge of the platform, it's just a boring and repetitive chunk of the game, it even has a sniper rifle in it, all of that leads to a slower experience that isn't as good as the first game was    … Expand

    Probably the best "mindless, arcade shooter" collection we've ever tried. Sam is definitely the "Duke" of the 00's.

    The Serious Sam Collection is what it is: loud, stupid, colourful, amicably-offensive and a lot of fun – and for your money you’re getting an absolute wealth of shoot-em-up content.
